Great end to the year! Had been debating between going to St Louis’s Gateway track event & this one, but in the end I decided to see my friends at CCSCC one more time. It was a good choice. Great event on Saturday. Cold, but I enjoyed the course. It was a very traditional/standard CCSCC course. Some offsets and transitions, a couple of u-turns, a big sweeper out back and some slaloms and offsets on the way back. I improved with every run and I finally managed a 47.906, good for 8th in index! A personal best at CCSCC period – with or without codriver, etc. I’ve been on a tear the last few events, but I think it’s actually due to the cold weather. The car just handles better in the cold. It’s a touch looser, which is just where I want it to be. I’ll need to figure out how to get the car to handle this way in the hot for 2015.

Things to work on:

• Smoother inputs
• Commit to turns
• Still a little yank-y on the wheel
• Unwind the wheel faster ~24s
• Coming out of the sweeper into the tight turn, fairly straight after, should have braked earlier and powered out through until the end

Run count: 221

Notes:

• Cold temps, ran 41/43 – same as last week in CSCC
• Need to set up hot setup to mimic car’s behavior in the cold
